It was good of you to mention it Nevin. It was my mistake. I just pulled out the wrong camera - the GRDIV which of course says "GR Digital" on the front. Checked the firmware - version 2.30 (not 2.03 of course). Ooops I have been dragging the chain. Checked the Ricoh site - the upgrade offered seemed "familiar". Realised I had the wrong camera in hand. Found the "real" GR - checked the firmware - indeed I had already upgraded to version 4.0.

We always appreciate helpful comments - I was merely kicking myself for a "duh-oh" moment as I should have immediately recognised that the GRDIV in my hand was not a GR.
